Publication metadata
The Inland Waterway Transport (IWT) sector’s competitiveness is hampered by three key challenges identified in the 2017 study on the Digital Inland Waterway Area. These are: inefficient navigation and traffic management; inefficient integration of IWT in logistics processes and high administrative burden for complying with legislation. In order to tackle these challenges and recognising that "digitalisation helps reduce the administrative burden and simplify procedure for authorities and businesses", the 2018 Commission Staff Working Document on Digital Inland Navigation initiated an examination of synergies with other transport modes, which resulted in the present study undertaken by Optimity Advisors. This study aimed at identifying informatics solutions and/or legislative frameworks with digital aspect in other transport modes to assess their potential re-use in the IWT sector. A number of solutions could directly benefit the IWT sector or provide inspiration for its further digital evolution. Moreover, re-using and building on existing systems could significantly shorten the ‘time to market’ of those solutions and avoid or reduce duplication of efforts and investments.
